A

23
Q

fancy name for proteins

24
Q

organic

A

cubstance that contain carbon and hydrogen

25
inorganic
substances that do not have carbon and hydrogen
26
reactants
the substances needed to complete a chemichal reaction
27
products
the substances produced by a chemicals reaction
28
disease
any condition that prevents the body from working as it should ( failure to maintain homeostasis)
29
examples of pathogen
virus,bacteria and parasites
30
virus
invading particles composed of nucleic acids and proteins
31
examples of viruses
common cold, flu, aids and chicken pox
32
bacteria
unicellular(single celled) organisms that can cause disease
33
examples of bacteria
tuberculosis, strep
34
parasites
an animal or microorganism that live and feed of of a host
35
immune system
the bodys defense against disease
36
how the immune system works
1- every pathogen has a different shaped antigen on its surface 2- once the pathogen enters a human body, the body sends out proteins called antibodies 3- antibodies that have a similar shape to the antigen will attach to the pathogen 4- white blood cells will then engulf the pathogen and destroy it
37
vaccine
the use of a weakend or dead pathogen to induce an immune response
38
how a vaccine works
1- get injected with a dead or weakend virus or pathogen 2- reacts to the antigen8uiu987 3- body creates antibodies against that pathogen 4- antibodies attack the vaccine particles
39
how a vaccine works
1- get injected with a dead or weakend virus or pathogen 2- reacts to the antigen8uiu987 3- body creates antibodies against that pathogen 4- antibodies attack the vaccine particles
40
allergy
an immune response to a usually harmless substance
41
aids
a viral disease that attacks the immune system us now open to other infections such as pnuemonia that can cause death
42
antibody
a protein found in the blood that is produces in response to a specific antigen
43
antigen
substance on the surface of a pathogen that triggers an immune response
44
dominant
the observed trait: allele masks the expressions of another allele ; expressed with a capital letter
45
recessive
trait that can be masked by the dominant form of the trait:lower case letter
46
homozygous
having two different allese for a particular trait(Rr)
